Are shoulder injuries caused solely by improper stroke mechanics? Can we avoid all pain using perfect technique? Can we throw away the ice pack forever? Or can shoulder pain be caused by other factors as well? Vote if you have an opinion.

I hope you're not sitting at your desk when that bucket of water hits you.:rofl: Or you'll really be adding yourself to the shoulder injury support group.

Aside from all the recent J/K-ing on this thread, I'd still like to know why there is a "shoulder epidemic" among younger swimmers when they're supposed to be more cognizant of technique and not just bashing away at the water. Are their sore middle age parents setting a bad example? I would pay top dollar for Terry or anyone else including that brainiac Lindsay to come back and answer that question and provide any solution. Terry's age groupers are apparently trouble-free, but I see other USS teams focusing on technique a goodly amount. If so, why the "epidemic?"
